Just a bit of excitement at the wheel. My dad was sitting in a doctors room when sparks began shooting out of an electrical box. Who knows how bad it could have become if the room was empty at the time!
Built for the public by grants from various bodies like the millennium fund, lottery and EU. Then recently the operators said they were closing it for all boats except their own tour boats. I don't know if they went ahead with the plans but it seems to be a slap in the face of canal users who now can't use the network that the wheel creates.
Are they trying that again? They tried it before and didn't get away with it. Not that there are that many boats use it anyway, if the hireboat base was moved onto the Union Canal there would be even less. It's a massive white elephant. Should have rebuilt the locks but that wouldn't have got the lottery cash. If you want a laugh ask them what happened to the amphibians and how much did that cost for absolutely nothing.
That wheel is cool I have never seen anything like it. I’m happy it didn’t burn! Have a great weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
😊😊🙌🏼👍🏻
Falkirk wheel is good and also the Kelpies!
Yes, been a few times and this was just an excerpt from the main video that’s not out yet. Not often the boats set on fire 🔥 😮
@@LancashireLarks Stirling castle and Glamis castle is good too.

I can imagine, not good that 😮
Daft theory: They needed everyone to buy more in the cafe and Gift shop…😁…just kidding.
😂😂 that’s what we said
we were there early this year, and what a marvel it is. Very disappointed to see all the litter in the car park

Yeah, they was a normal boat on the video. So must be still open to public boats 👍🏻

@user-pf3ye6yi9n 👍🏻
Oh no, such a shame.
Yeah. They cancelled the rest of the boat trips for the rest of the day.
